Brass is the traditional material for memorial plaques. Often they are scratch engraved, as above, with unpainted letters. There is a large variety of fonts and thousands of images to choose from. We can also engrave more deeply and infill the letters with black, blue, green, orange or red. Where small lettering painted lettering we have a range of simple single line fonts as on the plaque below which uses arial font.

The main disadvantage with brass is that if you want it to stay shiny, it must be polished. For some useful tips see - Brass Cleaning.
